they could’ve made the reunion wholesome, and deep, without trying to stay hung up on drama that happened over 5 years ago for views. also, bringing Jojo over loved characters like Brynn & Asia? weird

And still make me money off the same kids that they traumatized I'm not trying to trash talk the original girls for going back to this toxic place.

These people are sick people who just like to make money off of criminals and like to make money off of children and traumatizing them and putting them into environments yeah this is like totally a platform that should actually be taken down.

She's also insanely close with Brooke and Paige. She was like their second mom growing up but the show tried to portray Melissa as selfish and uncaring about the other kids.

Melissa wants Dance Mom's to stay in the past more than anyone. Remember when she warned AL-M that she "knew where all the bodies were buried" and I believe she was as complicit as Miller too.

Tbh Christi still being like this when they're supposedly on good terms and Maddie and Chloe get along... Idk rubs me off in the wrong way. Also Kalani was so well treated by Melissa (she even took care of her when her mom wasn't there in the show) and she's here talking shit about her...
melissa is a very smart woman, but she has been manipulative both on and off the show (marriage, anyone?) so I don't think it's really that farfetched.
They were all so gruel to Maddie, especially Christi, they made so much drama about this little girl. No wonder she have nightmares about this time, so why should she go to this again in a reunion.... I understand maddi and Melissa. I want my best for my kids.
I mean I don’t think they were trying to be rude to Maddie, I feel it was more to Melissa and Abby, but it came off rude. Plus Christi gave Maddie a mommy hug in season one! However I get why she didn’t invite Kalani or Jojo I think that it was cuz Paige barely knew Kalani or Jojo
She also said she had a lot of nightmares due to the pressure Abby had on her. Christi would only get mad if something bad actually happens she never tried to intentionally hurt a child and when she did it was out of anger and she would apologise!
Growing up, I was always a fan of Christi and Chloe, like 100%, but watching the show over and over again, Christi's anger towards Melissa and Maddie is beyond normal, almost sickening.
I wouldn’t have invited jojo either lmao if it’s small and intimate it makes sense kalani wouldn’t be invited since they hadn’t met part of the group and she had bad history with them. When you want a good time you can’t invite everyone
@@lunajack9947 no I didn’t. You must not know that the Hylands follow Kalani and she follows them back way before the reunion. Kalani even joined Brooke, Kelly, Chloe, and Christi on vacation.
@@prettypatrece it doesn't change anything, maybe they are not as closed to her as the other girls, what you see on social media isn't everything , and they have the right to chose whoever they want invite
@@lunajack9947 Vacation isn’t being close. They mostly likely didn’t resolve what happened but they’re friends. Brooke even mentioned in her video how Kalani asked her to go out. Chloe was there as well, so wouldn’t you think she’d have asked. More goes on behind the scenes.
Christi is so obsessed with Melissa at that point she’s embarrassing herself more than she already had done while on the show she’ll find any opportunity to just talk bad about her and blame her for everything
True Christi still is salty from the past but you can’t ignore what Melissa did the whole show! She sabotaged the team to get her daughter ahead behind their backs. But Christi needs to stop living through the past bc it’s not making her look good but I guess she just speaks her mind !
Christi needs to get a grip fr. Making up a false narrative against the Zieglers just cause they didn’t want to do the reunion is ridiculous. She needs to worry about herself and her DUI charges.
@@Alyse567 What does your opinion on Melissa have to do with Christi blatantly lying and being nasty ? Melissa’s not a saint but at least she doesn’t have to cling to old reality tv show beef for a check or is getting arrested 🤷🏻♀️
@@Alyse567agreed! Melissa was the sneakiest of them all! The other moms had their bad moments but Melissa is on another level! But it doesn’t justify Christi smack talking Melissa when the show was 10+ years ago! Christi Kelly and holly are my fav moms !!
1. The party was for Paige, she didn’t know jojo, and barely knew Kehlani 2. They literally asked this question to start drama 3. It was at Maddie’s house, she threw the party for Paige. 4. If your not invited, your not invited. You shouldn’t be salty about it. 5. I love all of the girls and I would have loved seeing all the girls at Paige’s party, but stuff happens. People need to stop getting pressed over shit that doesn’t matter.
Christi used to be one of my favourite mums on the show but seeing her still go on about Melissa after like 10 years is honestly embarrassing. Melissa had nothing to do with the party.
If Melissa orchestrated everything so no one would talk bad about her and her girls then wouldn’t she have invited Kalani and Jojo too? Christi’s mean girl logic makes no sense here.
Christi has to be dramatic about everything. Everything is a conspiracy with her. That whole excuse that a party would make them say only good things is crap. If that was the reason, Kalani and Jojo would have been invited. Paige (and Brooke) didn't know Jojo and Kalani was a part of the incident that ended their time on the show (not her fault). Why would Maddie want all that drama at her house?
@@prettypatrece Maddie hosted a party for some of the girls to do a birthday party for Paige. It was in honor of Paige but hosted by Maddie and Maddie's house. So the argument is that Maddie would be doing the inviting, presumably to include people closest to Paige.
@@prettypatrece My understanding was that Nia wasn't there. It was at Maddie's home which would make her the host. Kalani has met them, but that doesn't make them friends. Their shared Dance Moms memory is traumatic for Paige and Brooke. Only a sadist would invite someone who would trigger those memories. I met someone the day my mother died. I wouldn't invite that person to a party later because I don't want that memory thrown back at me. It's nothing against Kalani. For whatever reason - and we don't have to know it - the party was for the smaller group and didn't include later entries into that world.
I wouldn’t invite anyone to my BIRTHDAY party if they were supporting abuse of me and my friends and if I didn’t know them so christi has no point… Also this just shows if they were invited they would disrupt the special day.
Such a shame. Melissa was kalani’s guardian. For her to say that about melissa. Shame on her! Ungrateful! The least u can do is understand their decision and not talk shit about them. Everyone deals with pain and trauma differently . If melissa maddie and kenzie chooses not to attend the reunion thats their problem. Don’t be so petty to talk shit about them or think you’re better than them.
She’s not ungrateful it’s just sad when your left out. I understand Paige and Kalani have never met but if she doesn’t invite her over when will they ever meet?. That’s how some friendships are formed.!
Why would u invite someone to your party if they dont like you. Christi is delusional. Kalani literally stated melissa made sure to keep people who were gonna talk negatively about them away. It shows their true intentions. Its said that even their kids are turning into their mothers.
It was kinda supposed to be a party for Paige bc it was her birthday, Kalani and Jojo don’t know Paige that well so they shouldn’t be mad they weren’t invited.
Wth why on earth would you say that!. The audacity you had to say that abt her!. Let’s see you do a quarter of the things she does. Cause honey you wouldn’t last she’s a hard worker and you sit on your butt all day scrolling on your phone bullying.🙄
Listen I know that Melissa is sneaky and a lair and that’s how she got away with things but I don’t think Paige’s party was a “plan” maybe it was a coincidence the time of the party and the reunion or they were asked to come but they declined and had Paige’s party to celebrate and reunite. I think Christy here is over-reacting and seem to hang up on the past
@@LoveCoraVideosshe may be goofy but she’s way success than Maddie. During the show, Melissa always hated anytime when someone was ahead of Maddie such as Chloe or Kalani in being successful dancers.
This was literally planned like MONTHS ago because in a qna video Melissa did with Paige they are talking about a suprise party with everyone!!!!so Christi is tbh just annoying and is still holding on to shit form like 10 years ago like bfr she needs to MOVE on😢
I don't think we are in a place to judge Christi or Melissa, the other moms, or any of the girls that did/didn't show up, since there's a lot that happened on Dance moms that we didn't get to see behind the scenes, and the producers still won't show. While it does bug me a bit, I think it's really unfortunate how Christi's (Aside from her video message to Chloe) only appearance was to dog on Melissa. Not because I don't agree with Christi (I'm not defending Melissa whatsoever because it sounds like there's a lot of bad stuff she did on the show) but it just really orchestrates towards how Christi was represented on the show. I felt like the producers took care in making Christi always seem jealous of Maddie and Melissa. (She has stated on multiple occasions she regrets yelling in front of Maddie in season 1 episode 4). So I feel that this cameo fed into the "jealous character" Christi was pushed into, when she's definitely more than that. However it's been confirmed the party was a party for Paige while they were all in LA, which was probably one of their only chances to get together. Kalani briefly met Paige, and Jojo never met Paige, so it wouldn't make sense for them to go to a party for someone they've never met. This whole "party" thing was unnecessary and didn't need to be bought up on the reunion.
Agreed but these are things Christi said even without the other context she shouldn’t have said any of this. She just accused and blamed with no actual logic. It was Paige’s birthday and Nia was the one who sent the invites.
That is just sad cause especially there moms were Jealous of Maddie and her mom so don’t come for them you guys are the ones that messed up and you guys owe Maddie and her mom an apology
They are acting like they new Paige when they did not so why would they be invited and not hate to Christi but why are you still hating on Melissa when that was a long time ago
Christi MAY have overreacted BUT Melissa still needs to be called out more because for YRS she has gotten away with doing sneaky and horrible things. It wasn’t all about dance!
No Christi, YOU REALLY DONT KNOW HER- i feel like Christi is still stuck in that dance moms mentality like… why all the time they come for the Zieglers? I feel like it’s jealously between the girls and CLEARLY it’s gone to Kalani and Kendall’s head.
Guys guys guys guys guys… this is MADDIES party not Paige’s. They were two diffrent parties. This one is Maddie’s. And kalani and jojo knew Maddie for a while. Mellissa even took kalani in at some point!
A few things to add here, while I love Melissa… I do think she instigated a lot of things on the show. For example, to invite some but not all is automatically divisive. Kalani definitely knew Paige and Brooke as her entrance (the way she came on the show rather) was the catalyst for the Hyland family leaving the show. She only invited the people on the show whom she had the most tension with in past seasons, and conveniently excluded others. The Hylands and Nia were the ones that were directly affected by choices that Melissa made when it came to the dance education of Maddie and Mackenzie, bc Abby put the most pressure on them to be like Maddie. Christi and Melissa honestly can’t coexist in the same room which is why she nor Chloe were invited in my opinion. I 1000% agree with Christi when she said she wanted to throw a fire blanket on whatever bomb was gonna pop off at that reunion.
Ikr like why are people not realizing that it was a party for PAIGE, though it was at Maddie's house it wasn't her party...they barely knew each other so it would just be awkward anyways🤷♀️
I didnt Even know kalani could have thought all of that, they have no right to talk about Melissa and maddie like that (Kenize too) they didn’t invite u it’s none of ur business,if they didn’t come it dosen’t matter to u
My honest opinion is that Melissa didn't set anything up, but I don't blame Christi for feeling the way she does. Melissa lied to them for YEARS and was a very calculated woman, so I think Christi's reacting this way out of past experience 🤷♀️
Okay, so since some people STILL don’t understand why Jojo and Kalani didn’t get invited, let me explain it even MORE clearly for you guys. Melissa or Maddie hosted PAIGE’S surprise birthday party at her house and NIA sent out the invites. Paige didn’t know Kalani or Jojo so I wouldn’t make any sense to invite them. If it was for say Mackenzie or Kendall, then yes Kalani and Jojo probably would’ve been invited. I don’t know why you guys think it’s okay for them to be invited to a birthday party when they don’t even know the person it’s for. It’s stupid.
it was paige’s birthday why would kalani and jojo be invited if they didn’t know paige, they just wanna be included in the OG’s things cus they aren’t OJ’s neither is kendall she’s just an OG studio hopper
tf? how is not inviting kalani who 1, continues to talk bad about the entire Ziegler family, and who hardly even knows Paige which is WHO the party was for something a villain would do? the hell u mean?
I don't know why Bryan (The Producer) had the bring up Paige's birthday party it literally had nothing to do with the reunion pretty sure it was a fun thing to do since I don't know how offence all the Girls see each other so that was a perfect place to do it pretty sure no one brought up the reunion like really trying to bring up drama
They all peaked in the show. Zieglers went onto bigger and greater things like brand deals, shows, red carpets, award ceremonies, etc. I think they’re still bitter.
ppl who keep saying “why were they invited” kalani and jojo were in the show, it wane just the OG cast although some ppl weren’t invited they both had a right to be there. although i think it would have been fine if jojo weren’t there haha
Melissa was treated so badly by Christi and here she is still talking smack. Stop the jealousy lady Chloe is a beautiful girl inside and out you dont need to be so jealous and hateful anymore. I wish you all the best and I am a big fan of the show.
It was Maddie’s party search it up it was Maddie’s party and Melissa didn’t invite Kalani bc of the reason Kalani said I’m not being rude but everyone keeps saying it was Paige’s party and Kalani didn’t know Paige then but no it was Maddie’s party bc why would Paige sit there quietly she would have spoke up if kalani wanted to know why she wasn’t invited to her party
The fact that Melissa literally took care of her while her mom was pregnant and she still wasn’t invited… and the fact that the girls knew immediately what was gonna happen when they got asked the question says it all. Even they knew it was to keep them quiet.
I used to like this show but growing up watching this show and all the drama with it made me realize how much a negative impact these girls and their mom have on in young audiences. I loved watching their dances because I knew I could never dance the way they could, and it was inspiring to be honest a young girl not having any friends and wanting to be something more and watching this show dance moms kinda made it feel like I had friends and a dream. No hate to any of these girls. I just think the media and the fame has ruined a lot and has blinded us because I thought it was normal for girls to have friendships in a toxic way . The way they had friendships in this show. Is not healthy and very toxic environment.😢😢
Oh Christi I’ve missed you and Cholè so much! Just needed to hear her say “and if anyone thinks differently, you’re delusional.” So real Christi, so real!❤
It was Paige’s birthday party, and christi is complaining that they weren’t invited. But if they WERE invited Christi would also complain because she would claim “they’re not OGs” Which they aren’t, and I don’t think that they should have been invited cause they didn’t even know Paige until the filming of the reunion. But you know how it is with Christ, damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Christi bringing up Melissa was so petty. It was PAIGE’S BIRTHDAY. Kalani and Jojo didn’t know Paige that well. She met Kalani for half a second and met Jojo the day of the reunion. Maddie planned it and it was Nia’s house. This is exactly why Nia and the Zieglers didn’t want to go to that reunion. Just trying to be dramatic for no reason. Of course Paige would have the girls she grew up with at her birthday party instead of two girls she never met.
I wish they would’ve shown what even said in regards to this not just Christi to keep that same negative narrative going as if we the ppl who actually do our research know that Melissa and Christi are cool.
I actually do agree that Melissa purposely did that so the girls wouldn’t say anything bad about them then again this has nothing to do with Maddie and McKenzie and my opinion it was all Melissa
Christy was one of my fav moms on the show now she’s just trying to blame Melissa for things that rlly aren’t her fault she’s assuming things and yes I get if maybe some ppl wanted to be invited my apparently it was Nia that sent the invites!!
Christy has always been the truest antagonist. She had affairs, gossiped. Everything she hated about that family she was carrying in her own reality.... Well accept the self confidence to just love and focus on your own kid and life/family. That party had been planned. Why would two girls who dont want to be apart of show invite the girls they don't normally talk to. Its really pathetic they had to try and do this. Shows how much they need Maddie, Mackenzie and yes even Melissas name to try and pull views. The Ziegler girls and Nia are far too good for this comstructed drama milk the past 3 hour show and tell.
Christi talks so bad abt Melissa it's getting to a point that its emberassing she just talks and talks and nobody cares like they weren't invited bc they barley knew Paige so they're just mad bc they weren't invited like grow up it's emberassing
Why would Melissa invite Kalani when Paige only has met her the day they left the show and her mum and Abby got violent because of the surprise duet Kalani was in. Melissa arranged the party at that time because the girls were all in town for the reunion so everyone could be present. Melissa and Paige are very close, paige is the only person that was invited to Melissa's wedding ceremony beside Maddie and Mackenzie, she know who Paige wants there and who not. Stop spreading lies Christi and Kalani, you don't know them. Melissa, Hyland's and Nia and Holly are all very close still.
Producers still tryna start drama💀
Christy as well. It's pathetic.
why would kalani and jojo even be there if they barely knew paige
They invited them and it was their own choice
It wasn’t all really about Paige it was a reunion for the dance moms kids and parents so it was there choice to be there

@@reynalioness4992 only 1 but they didn't even talk
They were all so gruel to Maddie, especially Christi, they made so much drama about this little girl. No wonder she have nightmares about this time, so why should she go to this again in a reunion.... I understand maddi and Melissa. I want my best for my kids.
I mean I don’t think they were trying to be rude to Maddie, I feel it was more to Melissa and Abby, but it came off rude. Plus Christi gave Maddie a mommy hug in season one! However I get why she didn’t invite Kalani or Jojo I think that it was cuz Paige barely knew Kalani or Jojo
She also said she had a lot of nightmares due to the pressure Abby had on her. Christi would only get mad if something bad actually happens she never tried to intentionally hurt a child and when she did it was out of anger and she would apologise!
Growing up, I was always a fan of Christi and Chloe, like 100%, but watching the show over and over again, Christi's anger towards Melissa and Maddie is beyond normal, almost sickening.
@@reetadwivediChristi and Maddie get along fine. Christi never hated Maddie, but she hated Abby and Melissa for using Maddie to hurt all the girls.
@@mairarodrigues5024Melissa intentionally hurt the other girls including Mackenzie’s to make Maddie the star of dance moms.
I wouldn’t have invited jojo either lmao if it’s small and intimate it makes sense kalani wouldn’t be invited since they hadn’t met part of the group and she had bad history with them.
When you want a good time you can’t invite everyone
Kalani doesn’t have bad blood with Hylands. She literally went on baca with Brooke and Kelly along with Chloe and Christi.
@@prettypatrecedid you forget the fight that made the Hylands leave is beacuse of kalani and her mom
@@lunajack9947 no I didn’t. You must not know that the Hylands follow Kalani and she follows them back way before the reunion. Kalani even joined Brooke, Kelly, Chloe, and Christi on vacation.
@@prettypatrece it doesn't change anything, maybe they are not as closed to her as the other girls, what you see on social media isn't everything , and they have the right to chose whoever they want invite
@@lunajack9947 Vacation isn’t being close. They mostly likely didn’t resolve what happened but they’re friends. Brooke even mentioned in her video how Kalani asked her to go out. Chloe was there as well, so wouldn’t you think she’d have asked. More goes on behind the scenes.
Christi is so obsessed with Melissa at that point she’s embarrassing herself more than she already had done while on the show she’ll find any opportunity to just talk bad about her and blame her for everything
this.
Yes exactly!
Nah
True Christi still is salty from the past but you can’t ignore what Melissa did the whole show! She sabotaged the team to get her daughter ahead behind their backs. But Christi needs to stop living through the past bc it’s not making her look good but I guess she just speaks her mind !
@@giget_07 when did she sabotage the team??
Christi needs to get a grip fr. Making up a false narrative against the Zieglers just cause they didn’t want to do the reunion is ridiculous. She needs to worry about herself and her DUI charges.
Oh pls Christi was one of the best moms there Melissa was the worst alll she cared abt was Maddie when she has another kid
@@Alyse567 What does your opinion on Melissa have to do with Christi blatantly lying and being nasty ? Melissa’s not a saint but at least she doesn’t have to cling to old reality tv show beef for a check or is getting arrested 🤷🏻♀️
@@kikiko928 Chiristi and Holly are the best moms from the show
@@Alyse567agreed! Melissa was the sneakiest of them all! The other moms had their bad moments but Melissa is on another level! But it doesn’t justify Christi smack talking Melissa when the show was 10+ years ago! Christi Kelly and holly are my fav moms !!
@@giget_07 I agree you are right!!
1. The party was for Paige, she didn’t know jojo, and barely knew Kehlani
2. They literally asked this question to start drama
3. It was at Maddie’s house, she threw the party for Paige.
4. If your not invited, your not invited. You shouldn’t be salty about it.
5. I love all of the girls and I would have loved seeing all the girls at Paige’s party, but stuff happens. People need to stop getting pressed over shit that doesn’t matter.
Christi used to be one of my favourite mums on the show but seeing her still go on about Melissa after like 10 years is honestly embarrassing. Melissa had nothing to do with the party.
If Melissa orchestrated everything so no one would talk bad about her and her girls then wouldn’t she have invited Kalani and Jojo too? Christi’s mean girl logic makes no sense here.
Literally she’s nasty
Idk why Christy is complaining when Chloe was invited 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ also it was Maddie’s party and not Melissa’s
Christi has to be dramatic about everything. Everything is a conspiracy with her.
That whole excuse that a party would make them say only good things is crap. If that was the reason, Kalani and Jojo would have been invited. Paige (and Brooke) didn't know Jojo and Kalani was a part of the incident that ended their time on the show (not her fault). Why would Maddie want all that drama at her house?
It wasn’t Paige’s birthday party?
@@prettypatrece Maddie hosted a party for some of the girls to do a birthday party for Paige. It was in honor of Paige but hosted by Maddie and Maddie's house.
So the argument is that Maddie would be doing the inviting, presumably to include people closest to Paige.
@@bexlo9794 I heard Nia hosted the party it was just at their house. Kalani knows the Hylands.
@@prettypatrece My understanding was that Nia wasn't there. It was at Maddie's home which would make her the host.
Kalani has met them, but that doesn't make them friends. Their shared Dance Moms memory is traumatic for Paige and Brooke. Only a sadist would invite someone who would trigger those memories. I met someone the day my mother died. I wouldn't invite that person to a party later because I don't want that memory thrown back at me. It's nothing against Kalani. For whatever reason - and we don't have to know it - the party was for the smaller group and didn't include later entries into that world.
I wouldn’t invite anyone to my BIRTHDAY party if they were supporting abuse of me and my friends and if I didn’t know them so christi has no point… Also this just shows if they were invited they would disrupt the special day.
Annddd there it is.. Christi is STILL jealous of the Zieglers 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
U sound like Abby 😂
@@EmmaRGJ Because its one of the few things Abby was right about 😂
Truly, she is not. She's still pissed though - at Melissa, not Maddie or MacKenzie.
@@ThaisathenymphNo.
@@elizabethhurley1129 yes
The editors and some of the members tried to portrayed the Ziegler’s as villain, but it went the other way around
This! Should be pinned !
Aw…. Christi shut your mouth! You always got something to say and furthermore, it’s been years! Let that ish go!!
I couldnt of said it better!!!!!
Why was kalani and jojo even at the reunion because they didn’t invite any of the other girls Kalani and jojo weren’t original girls
they didn't know paige??? wtf
Kelly calling Christi is everything 😂❤
Such a shame.
Melissa was kalani’s guardian.
For her to say that about melissa.
Shame on her!
Ungrateful!
The least u can do is understand their decision and not talk shit about them.
Everyone deals with pain and trauma differently .
If melissa maddie and kenzie chooses not to attend the reunion thats their problem.
Don’t be so petty to talk shit about them or think you’re better than them.
She’s not ungrateful it’s just sad when your left out. I understand Paige and Kalani have never met but if she doesn’t invite her over when will they ever meet?. That’s how some friendships are formed.!
@@AliviaThomas-hm9pmwhy would kalani be invited tho 😹i like kalani but Paige does talk to kalani like that
It was a Party for paige and to get all the ogs together
Why would u invite someone to your party if they dont like you. Christi is delusional. Kalani literally stated melissa made sure to keep people who were gonna talk negatively about them away. It shows their true intentions. Its said that even their kids are turning into their mothers.
They talk behind her face but with her they are all bestie bestie. They are all so two faced it’s crazy!!
theyre just mad they wasn’t invited
These producers really won’t quit it’s so annoying. It was a birthday party for paige, who didn’t know kalani or jojo, why would they be there????
Wasnt it for pagies birthday?? Jojo n kalnai dont know pagie
I don’t get why they hate on some of the girls for not showing up. It was their choice and they need to respect it. This is just my opinion!
It was kinda supposed to be a party for Paige bc it was her birthday, Kalani and Jojo don’t know Paige that well so they shouldn’t be mad they weren’t invited.
Jojo and kalani literally never met paige and it was her birthday party so why would they be invited?
Omg Kalani is so big now😭😳
Wth why on earth would you say that!. The audacity you had to say that abt her!. Let’s see you do a quarter of the things she does. Cause honey you wouldn’t last she’s a hard worker and you sit on your butt all day scrolling on your phone bullying.🙄
GIRL THIS BLEW UP
Listen I know that Melissa is sneaky and a lair and that’s how she got away with things but I don’t think Paige’s party was a “plan” maybe it was a coincidence the time of the party and the reunion or they were asked to come but they declined and had Paige’s party to celebrate and reunite. I think Christy here is over-reacting and seem to hang up on the past
omg ffs christi needs to GROW UP. it has been so long and she is SO bitter it’s embarrassing for a grown women.
off topic but I think Melissa is scared of jojo siwas goofy ass
💀💀
@@LoveCoraVideosshe may be goofy but she’s way success than Maddie. During the show, Melissa always hated anytime when someone was ahead of Maddie such as Chloe or Kalani in being successful dancers.
LMFAOOOOOO
She’s still richer than u.
@@hellobye7697I couldn’t careless❤
This was literally planned like MONTHS ago because in a qna video Melissa did with Paige they are talking about a suprise party with everyone!!!!so Christi is tbh just annoying and is still holding on to shit form like 10 years ago like bfr she needs to MOVE on😢
"I'm going to call christi"😭🤚
Kendall’s lips are just …….
They need to zip it
Kendalls lips arent even bad it looks good leave her alone omg u cant even afford it
I don't think we are in a place to judge Christi or Melissa, the other moms, or any of the girls that did/didn't show up, since there's a lot that happened on Dance moms that we didn't get to see behind the scenes, and the producers still won't show. While it does bug me a bit, I think it's really unfortunate how Christi's (Aside from her video message to Chloe) only appearance was to dog on Melissa. Not because I don't agree with Christi (I'm not defending Melissa whatsoever because it sounds like there's a lot of bad stuff she did on the show) but it just really orchestrates towards how Christi was represented on the show. I felt like the producers took care in making Christi always seem jealous of Maddie and Melissa. (She has stated on multiple occasions she regrets yelling in front of Maddie in season 1 episode 4). So I feel that this cameo fed into the "jealous character" Christi was pushed into, when she's definitely more than that.
However it's been confirmed the party was a party for Paige while they were all in LA, which was probably one of their only chances to get together. Kalani briefly met Paige, and Jojo never met Paige, so it wouldn't make sense for them to go to a party for someone they've never met. This whole "party" thing was unnecessary and didn't need to be bought up on the reunion.
Agreed
Agreed but these are things Christi said even without the other context she shouldn’t have said any of this. She just accused and blamed with no actual logic. It was Paige’s birthday and Nia was the one who sent the invites.
That is just sad cause especially there moms were Jealous of Maddie and her mom so don’t come for them you guys are the ones that messed up and you guys owe Maddie and her mom an apology
no kalani it was because melissa wanted only the OG girls. gosh u piss me off
Love that dress omg she looks so gorgeous damn girl 👑❤️👑
what Kalani said was not true it was paiges birthday and she left dance because of kira and Kalani andshe didn't even know Jojo untill the next day
Fire Blanket. That's a good one, Christy😂
They are acting like they new Paige when they did not so why would they be invited and not hate to Christi but why are you still hating on Melissa when that was a long time ago
Christi MAY have overreacted BUT Melissa still needs to be called out more because for YRS she has gotten away with doing sneaky and horrible things. It wasn’t all about dance!
No Christi, YOU REALLY DONT KNOW HER- i feel like Christi is still stuck in that dance moms mentality like… why all the time they come for the Zieglers? I feel like it’s jealously between the girls and CLEARLY it’s gone to Kalani and Kendall’s head.
Guys guys guys guys guys… this is MADDIES party not Paige’s. They were two diffrent parties. This one is Maddie’s. And kalani and jojo knew Maddie for a while. Mellissa even took kalani in at some point!
No, there was only one party. It was at Maddie’s house but it was a birthday party for Paige.
Wait so was this Paige’s party or Maddie’s bc at this point I’m confused and I don’t know which side to take
im not sure but what im seeing in the comments that it was a party for Paige’s bday at Maddie’s house
A few things to add here, while I love Melissa… I do think she instigated a lot of things on the show. For example, to invite some but not all is automatically divisive. Kalani definitely knew Paige and Brooke as her entrance (the way she came on the show rather) was the catalyst for the Hyland family leaving the show. She only invited the people on the show whom she had the most tension with in past seasons, and conveniently excluded others. The Hylands and Nia were the ones that were directly affected by choices that Melissa made when it came to the dance education of Maddie and Mackenzie, bc Abby put the most pressure on them to be like Maddie. Christi and Melissa honestly can’t coexist in the same room which is why she nor Chloe were invited in my opinion. I 1000% agree with Christi when she said she wanted to throw a fire blanket on whatever bomb was gonna pop off at that reunion.
Close enough, introducing Dance Moms: The Next Generation
Drunk elephant I used to use it I broke out rlly bad so the only thing I use from there is the bronzing drops
Paige didn't know jojo and barely knew kaloni so how is this Mellisas fault ?
Ok so Paige literally met jojo and kalani like the day of the reunion so like why would she be invited to her party
Ikr like why are people not realizing that it was a party for PAIGE, though it was at Maddie's house it wasn't her party...they barely knew each other so it would just be awkward anyways🤷♀️
Melissa did nothing bad to her and Melissa was really sweet with kailani and she also was her guardian
nope.
@@reynalioness4992yes. and christi is a jealous grown women.
I didnt Even know kalani could have thought all of that, they have no right to talk about Melissa and maddie like that (Kenize too) they didn’t invite u it’s none of ur business,if they didn’t come it dosen’t matter to u
Right but the producers brought that subject up for a reason so Kalani could talk abt it if anything she was probably forced.
@@AliviaThomas-hm9pm she could of rejected it ..
That's the way someone always is.
well i wouldn’t invite people who think bad of me either
I don’t even blame Melissa tho
My honest opinion is that Melissa didn't set anything up, but I don't blame Christi for feeling the way she does. Melissa lied to them for YEARS and was a very calculated woman, so I think Christi's reacting this way out of past experience 🤷♀️
Okay, so since some people STILL don’t understand why Jojo and Kalani didn’t get invited, let me explain it even MORE clearly for you guys.
Melissa or Maddie hosted PAIGE’S surprise birthday party at her house and NIA sent out the invites. Paige didn’t know Kalani or Jojo so I wouldn’t make any sense to invite them. If it was for say Mackenzie or Kendall, then yes Kalani and Jojo probably would’ve been invited.
I don’t know why you guys think it’s okay for them to be invited to a birthday party when they don’t even know the person it’s for. It’s stupid.
it was paige’s birthday why would kalani and jojo be invited if they didn’t know paige, they just wanna be included in the OG’s things cus they aren’t OJ’s neither is kendall she’s just an OG studio hopper
I’ve always said, Melissa was more of a villain than Abby.
tf? how is not inviting kalani who 1, continues to talk bad about the entire Ziegler family, and who hardly even knows Paige which is WHO the party was for something a villain would do? the hell u mean?
@@camiiiiii- nah, Melissa has always been the villain and a liar. 🤥
@@Chicoandthemangirl.
OMG Kendall is soooo pretty 😮
Far too much drama for me 😭
I don't know why Bryan (The Producer) had the bring up Paige's birthday party it literally had nothing to do with the reunion pretty sure it was a fun thing to do since I don't know how offence all the Girls see each other so that was a perfect place to do it pretty sure no one brought up the reunion like really trying to bring up drama
They all peaked in the show. Zieglers went onto bigger and greater things like brand deals, shows, red carpets, award ceremonies, etc. I think they’re still bitter.
Is anyone going to point out Kelly still has an home button iPhone 😂
ppl who keep saying “why were they invited” kalani and jojo were in the show, it wane just the OG cast although some ppl weren’t invited they both had a right to be there. although i think it would have been fine if jojo weren’t there haha
EXACTLY!!!! people need to understand and accept that this WASNT MEANT to be a season 1 reunion
Melissa was treated so badly by Christi and here she is still talking smack. Stop the jealousy lady Chloe is a beautiful girl inside and out you dont need to be so jealous and hateful anymore. I wish you all the best and I am a big fan of the show.
Geez Christi,with how obsessed you are with Melissa I’m starting to think you like her 😂
It was Maddie’s party search it up it was Maddie’s party and Melissa didn’t invite Kalani bc of the reason Kalani said I’m not being rude but everyone keeps saying it was Paige’s party and Kalani didn’t know Paige then but no it was Maddie’s party bc why would Paige sit there quietly she would have spoke up if kalani wanted to know why she wasn’t invited to her party
The fact that Melissa literally took care of her while her mom was pregnant and she still wasn’t invited… and the fact that the girls knew immediately what was gonna happen when they got asked the question says it all. Even they knew it was to keep them quiet.
I used to like this show but growing up watching this show and all the drama with it made me realize how much a negative impact these girls and their mom have on in young audiences. I loved watching their dances because I knew I could never dance the way they could, and it was inspiring to be honest a young girl not having any friends and wanting to be something more and watching this show dance moms kinda made it feel like I had friends and a dream. No hate to any of these girls. I just think the media and the fame has ruined a lot and has blinded us because I thought it was normal for girls to have friendships in a toxic way . The way they had friendships in this show. Is not healthy and very toxic environment.😢😢
Kalani, christi, and jojo have the biggest mouths 😭
I feel sorry for Chloe. It must be hard to have a Mum who is overbearing.
Oh Christi I’ve missed you and Cholè so much! Just needed to hear her say “and if anyone thinks differently, you’re delusional.” So real Christi, so real!❤
It was Paige’s birthday party, and christi is complaining that they weren’t invited. But if they WERE invited Christi would also complain because she would claim “they’re not OGs” Which they aren’t, and I don’t think that they should have been invited cause they didn’t even know Paige until the filming of the reunion. But you know how it is with Christ, damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Christi bringing up Melissa was so petty. It was PAIGE’S BIRTHDAY. Kalani and Jojo didn’t know Paige that well. She met Kalani for half a second and met Jojo the day of the reunion. Maddie planned it and it was Nia’s house. This is exactly why Nia and the Zieglers didn’t want to go to that reunion. Just trying to be dramatic for no reason. Of course Paige would have the girls she grew up with at her birthday party instead of two girls she never met.
They're all so jealous.
He was asking bc he was sad he wasnt invited
I wish they would’ve shown what even said in regards to this not just Christi to keep that same negative narrative going as if we the ppl who actually do our research know that Melissa and Christi are cool.
If melissa truly didn’t want ppl to talk about them she would’ve invited EVERYONE she isn’t stupid
I actually do agree that Melissa purposely did that so the girls wouldn’t say anything bad about them then again this has nothing to do with Maddie and McKenzie and my opinion it was all Melissa
Christy was one of my fav moms on the show now she’s just trying to blame Melissa for things that rlly aren’t her fault she’s assuming things and yes I get if maybe some ppl wanted to be invited my apparently it was Nia that sent the invites!!
Womp womp Kalani and JoJo y’all just mad y’all didn’t get invited
Christy has always been the truest antagonist. She had affairs, gossiped. Everything she hated about that family she was carrying in her own reality.... Well accept the self confidence to just love and focus on your own kid and life/family.
That party had been planned. Why would two girls who dont want to be apart of show invite the girls they don't normally talk to. Its really pathetic they had to try and do this. Shows how much they need Maddie, Mackenzie and yes even Melissas name to try and pull views. The Ziegler girls and Nia are far too good for this comstructed drama milk the past 3 hour show and tell.
Christi talks so bad abt Melissa it's getting to a point that its emberassing she just talks and talks and nobody cares like they weren't invited bc they barley knew Paige so they're just mad bc they weren't invited like grow up it's emberassing
Melissa is sneaky af, I'm with Christy. Melissa still could have invited Kalani and I think she should have.
Why would Melissa invite Kalani when Paige only has met her the day they left the show and her mum and Abby got violent because of the surprise duet Kalani was in.
Melissa arranged the party at that time because the girls were all in town for the reunion so everyone could be present. Melissa and Paige are very close, paige is the only person that was invited to Melissa's wedding ceremony beside Maddie and Mackenzie, she know who Paige wants there and who not. Stop spreading lies Christi and Kalani, you don't know them. Melissa, Hyland's and Nia and Holly are all very close still.
Kalani knows Brooke and Kelly. She went on vacation with them along with Chloe and Christi.
